Association of Cognitive Symptoms and Abnormal Oculomotor Signs With Recovery in Adolescents After Sport-Related Concussion.

Objective: Sport-related concussion (SRC) affects cognitive and oculomotor function. We evaluated recovery from SRC in athletes with cognitive symptoms and/or oculomotor impairments who were prescribed early aerobic exercise treatment.

Design: Secondary exploratory analysis of a randomized controlled trial.

Behavioral Economic Strategies Increase Adverse Event Reporting in Pediatric Anesthesia.

Introduction: Identification and reporting of severe adverse events (SAEs) during anesthesia care remains critical in identifying areas of improvement in perioperative patient care. Although many healthcare organizations rely on the self-reporting of SAEs, under-reporting may limit the identification of the true incidence of these events. To circumvent these barriers, many healthcare systems leverage the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) by incorporating an Anesthesia Information Management System (AIMS).

Retrospective Cohort Study of Perioperative Complications in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Children Testing SARS-CoV-2-Positive Within 21 Days Before Surgery.

Introduction: COVID-19 increases anesthetic risk in children, but understanding of complication differences by symptom presence and severity is limited. We hypothesized that symptomatic COVID-19+ children, especially with lower respiratory symptoms, would have higher perioperative complications than asymptomatic patients and that complications would be higher in all patients diagnosed < 6 days before anesthesia.

Methods: This single-center, retrospective cohort study reviewed records of children < 18 years old undergoing surgery with general anesthesia from March 1, 2020, to March 1, 2022, who tested COVID-19+.

Preoperative neurologic comorbidity and unanticipated early postoperative reintubation: a multicentre cohort study.

Background: The risk of respiratory complications is highest in the first 72 h post-surgery. Postoperative respiratory events can exacerbate pre-existing respiratory compromise and lead to reintubation of the trachea, particularly in patients with neurologic disorders. This study examined the association between neurologic comorbidities and unanticipated early postoperative reintubation in children.
